Valkyrie Drive #01 — Wearing Its Tits on its Sleeve
October 10th, 2015
At least it's honest with itself.
Impressions:
Apparently Arms decided to go in a slightly different direction. I'm pretty sure that the promo said that they had to kiss to transform. That is not what they need to do. They need to bring them to full orgasm. Luckily, being in Japanese media, that only takes about 20 seconds of heavy petting plus a hand slapped on the ol' clitoris or up the Jack Johnson. Or in the case of the masochist one, a boot heel up the ass. On the other hand, that means that this episode was 20% lesbian foreplay. On the other other hand, that mean that the episode was 20% lesbian foreplay. Like, literally in the middle of a fight, one shoves her tongue down the other's throat… vigorously, rips off both their tops, rubs their nipples together, and a finger up the legs later, she's got a giant sword. All this to an insert song no less. Yes, since you ask, I did have to choose caps fairly diplomatically.
So, it somehow manages to be even trashier than drek like Maken-Ki, Ikkitousen, Qwaser, etc. Despite it actually being okayish enough animated, especially for Arms, the action is nothing to write home for either. About the same as either of Asterisk's first two episodes at any rate, but with pawing disturbingly giant tits instead of exposition. And then it ends with this bizarrely upbeat ED featuring chibi versions of the entire cast dancing while severed cat heads float around, kicked off by a shout of "Super Ultra Hyper Miracle Romantic." which somehow managed to be the most annoying part of this entire wants-badly-to-be-porn-but-got-stopped-short-by-the-censors affair. I think the creator of it may hate the very concept of music.
